Test-driving Conker.ai

 Conker.ai is an AI system for generating quizzes. You can starting by either (a) giving it a topic, or (b) providing it with a reading text. It will then proceed to generating the number of questions (so far, MC questions only) that you have requested for you. 

I tested it with input (b). I provided it with a reading text, and asked it to create 5 MC questions for me. 

The result: 

1. Not bad; the MC distractors are sensible. Hence students do have to read the text to get the right answers. 

2. The questions all involve 'looking for specific information.' None of the questions tap higher-order reading skills (e.g., inferencing).
